Ignatian Solidarity Network (ISN)

The Ignatian Solidarity Network's purpose is to facilitate and enhance the effectiveness of existing social justice and advocacy efforts that are currently present in Jesuit affiliated high schools, universities and colleges, parishes, retreat centers, independent organizations and lay individuals across the nation. The network serves as a means to connect, strengthen, and broaden communication among these already existing groups in order to better understand what it means to live and act upon "a faith that does justice."

Moreover, the Ignatian Solidarity Network (ISN) offers a forum for energetic dialogue and discussion that builds stronger communal solidarity, both within various regional institutions and national apostolic sectors. The formation of this solidarity among universities and colleges, high schools, parishes and other Jesuit affiliated organizations promotes and strengthens justice-related advocacy work throughout the nation.
